Chapter 217 The Man I've Liked for Ten Years
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm fine now."
Seeing that Norah was still frowning, Shawn reassured her, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
With that, he tried to move his arm.
But before he could stretch it up, Norah stopped him. "I believe you."
Shawn cupped her face and kissed her on the lips. "Relieved now?"
"Yeah!"
"But..." Norah's hand stroked the scars on his back. "You should be more careful and never get hurt again. It really breaks my heart."
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
And he blurted out, "Do you care about me more than that guy?"
That guy?
Norah froze, confused.
Who?
"Who are you referring to?"
"It's..." Shawn said awkwardly, "The man you've liked for ten years."
Norah was stunned.
But the situation soon dawned on her.
Curling her lips, she smiled brightly.
Dumbass!
Shawn was such a fool.
He still didn't realize that person was him.
It was not her fault.
He had himself to blame.
The first time she tried to tell him in the school field, he would not listen.
The second time she said it out loud in the bathtub, he left the bathroom and didn't hear.
As for the third time, she only said she liked him.
She indeed hadn't mentioned that he was that man, and that was why he had been in the dark and kept misunderstanding her.
Since he didn't know, she decided to make him anxious as a payback for upsetting her again and again.
Hmph...
She would sit back and watch him get anxious.
Shawn was even more depressed when he saw the smile on her face.
He knew he shouldn't be so petty since the man she liked now and who was by her side was him. He should be content with it.
Besides, when she liked someone else, he hadn't appeared in her life, so he couldn't blame her.
But ever since he fell in love with her, he had become possessive and calculating.
He cared about her.
And he minded it.
Norah rested her chin on her hand and looked at Shawn. Her limpid eyes twinkled like dazzling stars.
With a constant smile on her face, she looked so charming.
Shawn's words got stuck in his throat.
It seemed he no longer needed to ask.
Her actions had spoken of the answer.
In the end, he said jealously, "If you care so much about him, why do you still want to be with me?
"I'm giving you a chance now. You can go to find him. I won't stop you."
Norah laughed.
Her heart was filled with joy.
She felt so happy to hear that.
But on the surface, she remained composed and silent.
